Psalms 131, 133, 138-141, 143

Psalm 131 - an extremely short psalm. David quiets himself before the Lord.

Psalm 133 - another very short psalm. David praises people of God living together in unity. It is like oil running down Aaron's beard.

Psalm 138 - David praises God for God's faithfulness to David.

Psalm 139 - David praises God for creating him. It speaks of being formed in the womb and David says that he is "fearfully and wonderfully made". It transitions to discussing the wicked at the end, in that they do despite God. It ends with David saying he hates those that hate God.

Psalm 140 - David asks God for intervention against those that plot against him.

Psalm 141 - David prays to God to put a guard over his lips to protect his words. He asks God to protect his heart from being drawn to evil.

Psalm 143 - David calls to God for help, but we get a greater sense of David's anguish or fatigue. Interestingly, David says that those that died long ago are dwelling in darkness.
